Some days, the headlines stop me in my tracks. The pain and injustice in the world are very real, and I allow myself to feel the sadness, anger, or fear that comes up. I do my best to limit my intake of news so I can stay informed without becoming overwhelmed. I do not ignore …
I just started rereading The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World, a conversation between the Dalai Lama and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, written in 2016.
